additional comments to yesterday's post...

i decided to publish yesterday's entry today... and i wanted to make a few additional comments as well...

on tuesdays i have 2 classes - church history and theology... i have been semi-dreading these two classes since last week... (today was the first day for both of them...) i have never been more surprised at classes than i was today... i am really excited about both of these classes and didn't think i would be at all... the professor (he teaches both classes) is incredible and i'm so looking forward to his teaching... our classes are 3.5 hours long, and usually we have 10 minute breaks every hour or so... well, in every other class i've been in, i watch the clock and am generally so ready for breaks... that was not the case today, for the most part... i better not say too many good things... because next week may be a completely different story...

but... one thing i'm really excited about is that for our projects, he encourages creativity... for theology, we have the option of writing the research paper, with all the sources... or we can write a short play about one of the doctrines of theology and then write a rationale about it... we're still required to do research and prove our rationale... or we can do something else, altogether... we're not limited, and we have creative freedoms that i find amazing... i'm going to try and figure out how best to do this... but i want to do my theology final project with photography... i talked with him about it today, and it's possible... i just need to figure out what i want to do... which will come more with the semester and with the learning process and allowing God to give me visuals of what i'm learning in class and from readings... i'm so excited, because i'm getting to integrate something that i really enjoy into my school experience...

it's been a great day... i love school!!!
